Relief trickled through me, and I nodded feverishly. “Thank you.”
I didn’t give a fuck about anything but my guys right now, and I didn’t care if it was selfish. I needed them, all of them, alive.
“The day after tomorrow is the new moon. I considered waiting to take him down when the blood magic was gone, but Mortala heard word of him planning to open the gate to enter Hell tomorrow night when he’s at his strongest. The seers confirmed this. They advised us to make sure we take him down before the new moon is at the highest point.”
“Priamos mentioned a slaughter starting tomorrow and lasting until the evening of the new moon before it’s highest,” Thaddeus said.
Dad’s sharp gaze scanned over the guys. “We need you all at your best so we can prevent any more slaughter. It’s pointless to go into battle and die because you didn’t replenish your energy.”
“We will.” I pulled the cover tighter around me as a soreness spread through my muscles.
Dad’s gaze was sharp, and he stared at me for a few seconds before he went through the portal, and I sighed.
“All of you need to get in the fucking bed and hold me.” I let the blanket fall and crawled toward the middle of the bed and waited as each of them surrounded me.
Thaddeus slid in behind me, and I laid back against his chest as his fingers worked into my scalp.
Kai got on my right side and held my hand as Blaise laid on my left, trailing his fingertips up and down my arm.
Aziel laid between my legs, his head on my stomach and warm horns poking into my shoulders.
It was fucking paradise. The only thing that could make this better was for them to be as naked as I was. Skin on skin made us closer.
I leaned my head back, looking up at Thaddeus. His long locks fell in front of his green eyes, and I reached up to brush them away. “We can’t let that vision come true.”
“We won’t, love.” He bent forward for a kiss, and a pang shot through my neck as I bent it back to kiss him.
Some of his essence flowed from him down my throat and warmed my center. A soft moan fell from my lips as we broke the kiss, and my head fell forward, easing the tension in my neck.
“Fuck, Poppy. That was hot,” Blaise said with those seductive eyes trained on my lips.
My entire body had goosebumps, and the air was thick with desire.
Thaddeus smacked Blaise in the back of the head. “I can share her with you all, but I won’t share her in the way you’re bloody thinking.”
Blaise huffed. “But what if she’d like that?”
My body heated. Having all of them so close after that horrid fucking vision was all I could ever need.
But I want more.
Blaise smirked. “She’s not opposed to the idea.”
“Your arousal’s drenching my back, my beloved.” Aziel’s tone was breathy, and he pushed back into my core.
“I’m not sorry.” My legs parted further from the pressure.
Kai’s fingers gripped my chin as he turned my head to face him. “Lilith, you need to replenish all your energy.”
“Can you help me with that?” I leaned forward, brushing my lips against his.
“You know I can.” He closed the distance, and our lips melded together. His essence trickled into my mouth and through my chest as he opened wide enough for me to slip my tongue in.
“I taste better,” Blaise said, shoving his hand into my hair and pulling me away from Kai as he claimed my mouth.
His tongue pushed past my lips as his essence spilled down my throat, spreading down to my toes.
“My turn,” Aziel sat up and turned around to face me, moving his hands around the back of my neck as Blaise and I broke our kiss.
